Does launching a build with the debugger attached on Vision Pro take forever for anyone else? It's near instant on the simulator, but even after the data is transferred to the device, the actual launch screen hangs out for like 10 seconds (so I don't think dev strap would help?)

After drawing on my iPad screen for years and getting jittery lines, this video and the fact it was my screen protector blew my mind. Is there a screen protector that doesn't do this? And isn't matte, because despite drawing nice those destroy the colors

The wildest bag someone recommended from this post is the TomToc Navigator. It's 40L, but only weighs 2.8 lb, has water bottle holders, compression straps, great laptop/iPad compartment, and one massive clamshell bucket for clothes. And it's only $80, which concerningly cheap

If they used X-Pac or a nicer material it could be even lighter and more durable, add in stowable straps, would be an absolute slam dunk

Choosing a travel backpack is really hard, and I still haven't found one I love, so mostly for my own reference I wrote a long post with thoughts on pretty much every travel backpack out there https://christianselig.com/2024/04/choosing-a-backpack-is-hard/

If you have other recommendations gimme

Sometimes I forget there was a period of television where new episodes of Community, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, and The Office all aired back to back on the same night

Any recommendations for USB-C to C charging cables over 10 feet/3 meters long? USB 2.0 speeds are fine, no video transmission needed, just want 100W of power delivery and ideally not as thick as a garden hose

Learning some basic 3D modeling has been such a fun hobby. Needed something to hold tennis balls since mine came in a cardboard box, so I quickly put together something fun 😊 https://makerworld.com/en/models/445402

Does anyone else have a sassy HomePod and a well-behaved HomePod? One of them 75% of the time is like "Ummm, who is speaking??" and the other is like "Done, I gotchu Christian"

If you have a Meta Quest 3, I made a free, 3D printable sibling to my Vision Pro stand! https://christianselig.com/2024/04/meta-quest-3-stand/

Playing around with a Meta Quest 3 version of my Vision Pro stand, and I want a flourish on top to differentiate them, but I can't decide if I prefer the inset or raised sensors. What do you think?

Blender folks: I have a 180° frame from YouTube that I want to stretch inside a half-sphere to make it 180° immersive. The image is rectangular, so I'm struggling with the UV map since unwrapping a sphere cuts the corners off, and scaling it up loses the spherical effect. How would you reconcile that?

I think I've narrowed down my small backpack search to the Aer Go Pack 2, Aer Pro Pack Slim, and the Fjallraven Ulvo. Any opinions, particularly around how small they pack and how well they protect your laptop, gimme 😛

Oooo, Bambu/Makerworld recently added "boosts" to 3D models, so if you like my Vision Pro Stand that I uploaded, sign in and give me a boost, I'm saving up gift cards and almost have enough for a new 3D printer add-on 😛

Anyone I know have the Aer Go Pack 2? How is the laptop protection? I figure it's minimal but is it passable?
